Lyrical Lady, did you manage to get Bill to do "10 ton Molly"? I'm not even going to ask if he put on a good show---it's the only kind he does! I'd be curious as to what song impressed you most in his regular set.

Is that the 10 ton Molly that Mike Agranoff wrote and performs?
Heard him over here a few weeks back at Englands oldest same venue folk club 'the Herga' at the Royal Oak, Peel Road, Wealdstone N/W London near Harrow every Monday night, with resident singers Johnny Collins, Graeme Knights, Kitty Vernon, George Papavgeris,
I bought the C.d.s

Yes, breezy, it is. Bill has modified it slightly by cleaning up the couple of "naughty" words. He does a good job, and it is such a funny bit.

I have to ask how it is that this singer gave a concert last Saturday night, 30 miles from my home in the seattle area, and I knew NOTHING about it? I do NOT live under a rock. Where was the publicity and public information? Bob

Bob,

You'll just have to join the Seattle Folklore Society or access their web site and you'll get this information. You can also check the web site for Victory Music and their Events Calendar, and you'll get all sorts of information on music events in the Puget Sound Area.

And thanks for the great "Hoot" at your home last night with Marion and friends.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

Here in the Bible belt words that are accepted elsewhere are not well received. It causes me to leave unplayed many a good song. Gotta keep the patrons of our public radio station happy.
